The Rose..

The RoseSome say love it is a riverthat drowns the tender reedSome say love it is a razerthat leaves your soul to bleadSome say love it is a hungeran endless aching needI say love it is a flowerand you it's only seedIt's the heart afraid of breakingthat never learns to danceIt's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chanceIt's the one who won't be takenwho cannot seem to giveand the soul afraid if dyingthat never learns to liveWhen the night has been too lonelyand the road has been too longand you think that love is onlyfor the lucky and the strongJust remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snowslies the seedthat with the sun's lovebecomes the rose.(Tekst: Amanda McBroom)På en grå og kjølig vårdag kan vi varme oss på dette. En av de fineste sangene jeg vet, særlig når den er formidlet av Bette Midler. Denne gangen ble det med Gheorghe Zamfir ledsaget av nydelige rosebilder. Sangen er fra filmen "The Rose" basert på historien om Janis Joplin.
